Dry tool bouldering isn't a good idea...

3 feet up, a placement ripped and i flew...

Sticking a hand out to cushion the fall hurt...

The following day convinced I'd broken my wrist i booked a ferry...but after a bucket of anti-inflammatory and a bag of frozen peas (that's wrapped around it not eaten) it did feel better...

so...i missed the ferry and...

a good test about 7 days later was climbing the Ginat on the North Face of the Droits. I told Ross Hewitt if i could swing an axe and the ice was not to hard it would be OK...

It was, though making two placements with the left axe because i couldn't pull it free holding the handle as it was too painful did slow things a little...

Near the top i definitely came to the conclusion the wrist was broken no matter what Brodie had been saying about the fact i wasn't in enough pain!...

"I broke my wrist and it was so painful i wouldn't let anyone near it."

But...arriving at the Couvercle hut fourteen hours after starting the climb was OK even if my wrist had swollen a tad...

Anyway, i booked another ferry and caught it this time glad i missed the first one. It would have been more painful to go before climbing one more route. 

The x-ray in Luton A&E showed a fracture straight across the distal head of the Radius...ahh the magic of Ibuprofen...Told you Brodie!
